Malawi

Here is a link to some of my photos from Malawi. There will be more later.

Michelle and Jamey

This past Saturday I had the pleasure of shooting an engagement session for two of my good friends, Jamey and Michelle. We shot in Laguna, at the Montage and the beaches around it than we headed up to the main beach in Laguna near Broadway for the sunset. These two were fantastic to work with, just as I suspected! I can't wait for their wedding coming up this summer... John

Peru Pt. 2

We took our second trip down to Pucallpa, Peru and returned home on Sunday. The trip was an amazing experience, and instead of shooting pictures of everything our team was doing with construction and relation, I relied on one of the other photogs to cover it! I loved being able to be a part of the trip, and to shoot just the few things I wanted to shoot...

Bocas del Toro, Panama

After our trip to Panama, a couple of us extended our layover in Panama for a few days. We rented a car and drove up to the Costa Rican border, than up over the continental divide to the Caribbean coast and the archipelago of Bocas del Toro in Panama. Following are a few shots of our tough times in this little developed area...

Yose-Mite @ sunrise

A couple of us took off this weekend and braved half-dome at midnight in Yosemite National Park. We got to the summit about an hour before sunrise and couldn't believe the amazing views as the valley lit up before us...

New York Engagement Session

My fiancee and I had some engagement photos taken while we were in New York a couple of weeks ago, but I am just now getting around to posting them up. She and I posed ourselves, and I set my camera up for Michelle's dad to shoot all of these! It worked out great, and we had a very good (although occasionally embarrassing) time doing it all.

New York City

I got to spend the last week in New York City with my fiance Michelle and her family. Following are a bunch of shots I took throughout the week. It was my first time visiting the city, and I had a wonderful time. John

This is the stoop from Sex and the City.

Every Tuesday night is movie night at Bryant Park, the place got crowded to watch The Bride of Frankenstein this past week.

Old baggage at Ellis island from immigrants.

One of the original benches still left over from the turn of the last century at Ellis island.

Some of the guys from Fire Station #10 across the street from the twin towers.

Michelle bought her wedding dress during the trip, and I refused to look at it no matter how tempting it was...

Met up with a few friends from high school at McSorley's Pub in Manhattan, the oldest Irish pub in the city. Abe Lincoln frequented the place...

Ate at Serendipity the day before going home. Also had some tremendous frozen hot chocolates!
